comment |
Tail of the Sun is a quirky, artsy caveman simulator released in 1996 for the PlayStation. It was developed by Artdink (A-Train, No One Can Stop Mr. Domino) and directed by Kazutoshi Iida (Doshin the Giant).The ultimate goal of the game is to build a ladder to the sun using mammoth tusks. In order to achieve this goal, the cavemen must explore and gather resources in a large open world, and hopefully grow their tribe's cultural and physical levels enough to hunt the fearsome mammoths.The cavemen also have an infamous tendency to fall asleep at the worst possible times. |

All There in the Manual: The manual is the only place where you're told of your goal, as well as where a map of the world (along with a few landmarks and points of interest that you can search for) is provided. Without that, you're going in blind. |

Permadeath: You choose a caveman to control from the ones in your tribe. When it dies, you may pick another one. If you lose them all, it's No More Continues. In order to avoid this, you must increase your village's population by consuming food and increasing your Propagate stat. |

comment |
Min-Maxing: A requirement. Each of your stats are marked in the "Body" screen with a different color, indicating how strong they are (from weakest to strongest, the colors are: purple, blue, green, yellow, peach, and red). Stats cannot be of the same color, so you need to pick and choose which ones you want to raise. |

comment |
Sleep Deprivation: Cavemen need to sleep from time to time, and if they go too long without a nap, they'll die of exhaustion. The US version allows you to button mash the circle button to wake them up, though doing this too many times will ultimately be fatal. |
